Has anyone had to deal with Tourmaster for any warranty issues? Specifically their jackets. Had a zipper pull break in half today - not disconnect, but snap so that it's basically a 1/4" nub hanging off the main zipper. I've e-mailed them using their Web form. Just trying to prepare to be either pleasantly surprised or pissed off.

I had the exact same thing happen with my Tourmaster Transition jacket...just a few months after getting it new. I never tried to get it replaced or fixed...I can still just grab the nub enough to open and close it...a bit of a hassle for sure. Good luck...I bet they will help you out.

I had my tourmaster jacket zipper screw up after 6 months and they replace the jacket. Now three years later another bad zipper and had to sent it in for a replacement zipper, my cost $50.00.

Heard/read that Tourmaster has bad zippers and sure looks like it with my experience. I'm stuck with this jacket for now but would not buy another tourmaster product because the zippers are junk.

Puzzles me why a company would ruin their reputation by having bad zippers on a good product!. The reason I say this is I looked at the "new" 2013 jacket and it has the same zippers. Someone needs to be fired at that company. Penny wise and dollar foolish if I may.

Why not wait to see what they say instead of even thinking of being pissed off. Guess you have your mind made up already huh.

Wow. Either you know me pretty well, or absolutely not at all.
Perhaps I've had some dealings with manufacturers in different industries over the past 5+ decades.
But thanks for your incredibly helpful insight.

Thanks. This one is about a year old. The info on their website left me pretty pessimistic, but I'm holding out for the best. My experience has been that the top tier folks - Alpinestars, Shoei, etc. are very willing to help and do what it takes to make things right, while some others seem to have a different business model that is completely ignorant about customer loyalty and repeat business. Having not had to deal with Tourmaster/Cortech/Helmet House before, I'm just trying to figure out where they lie on the scale.

I have several other products from them and based on how they respond to this, I guess I'll know if I continue to buy their stuff. I'm sure as shit not going to run out and buy another $200+ jacket to replace a 10¢ zipper though.

Yep. This is what I've got:

I hope I don't have to trash this jacket or ride around with a pair of vice grips until I replace it. Other than this, I really like the jacket.

I had an issue with my tourmaster synergy controller - used the web form and two or three days later they e-mailed me back saying they shipped a replacement.

I have actually had fewer CS issues with brands backed by large distributors (Tourmaster, Joe Rocket, Firstgear). I have had a hell of a time with more boutique brands (R...).
